Abstract

We present WikiDust, a software tool that (a) facilitates
searches for DNA components, and (b) produces annotated webready
images for improved sharing of designs. WikiDust is a plugin
for TinkerCell, a CAD design tool for genetic regulatory networks.
WikiDust leverages the SBOL standard to connect TinkerCell to the
Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Using standard languages and
components facilitates efficient communication and reuse of models.
Availability: WikiDust is available through TinkerCell’s automatic
plugin installation feature. TinkerCell can be downloaded from
http://www.tinkercell.com, and source code for WikiDust can be found
